so Shire upped their holding 8%, or 47341839-43813471= 3.5M shares between 28/08/08 and 06/05/09

with 424M shares on issue pre-rights, Shire did not need to notify the market of a 1% or 4.24M change in their holding as required by corporations act

interesting, wonder when they were buying...

but did not take up their rights, presumably as cash is king when you fall off the adderall cliff
